Millions of you are already familiar with our apps on iPhone, Android, Blackberry and more, but millions of you have also been relying on Yelp’s regular web site on your mobile phones to find great local businesses around you when on the go. In fact, over 8.5 million of you visited www.yelp.com from mobile devices in August -- that’s in addition to our over 5 million visitors to our mobile apps!

For those that have yet to discover our apps (Hint: you can download them here!) or who have been pinching-and-zooming their way through yelp.com on their mobile devices, we’ve updated mobile.yelp.com (or m.yelp.com, if you want to save a bit o’ typing) to make it all shiny and easy to use! It now has the following:

- Hot, new, mobile-friendly design!- Search for businesses nearby using your phone’s location- Check out your search results in a handy list with photos, or on a map.- Call businesses, get directions, view photos and read reviews, just like in our apps.

Lots more to come from Yelp on mobile. Now get out there and find great new places nearby!
